Bad smell coming from inside the refrigerator even after cleaning shelves.

Safety: Unplug the appliance before deep cleaning internal and rear areas.

Steps:

• 1. Remove all food: Empty the fridge and freezer. Discard spoiled items.
• 2. Clean interior: Wash all shelves, drawers, and walls with a solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm water.
• 3. Clean door gaskets: Gently pull back the CDA door gaskets and clean inside the folds where mold can grow.
• 4. Flush defrost drain: Clean and flush the drain hole and tube with warm water and mild disinfectant.
• 5. Clean condensate tray: At the rear, remove and wash the drip tray above the compressor.
• 6. Air out: Leave doors open for several hours to ventilate before restarting.

Tip: Activated charcoal fridge deodorizers can help prevent future odors.
